Help Luca pay for palate reconstruction surgery at San Diego General Hospital

Luca was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at San Diego General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,750 short. my husband has been in and out of San Diego General Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Luca struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Luca won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $6,750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,800 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,050 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $660 • Post-operative medication: $360 • Physiotherapy sessions: $530 • Travel and lodging for the family: $350 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Peyton
